Salt has saved the fish from the decay process, no harmful preservatives.
(Later, in the next content I will write about the salt farmers in the corner of our city)
Steemian's... You can get fresh fish in our city with great ease, and of course, because there are too many fresh fish here, not infrequently make traders participate preserve fresh fish it from the rest of their sales into salted fish were in demand by the citizens.
This afternoon I bought 2 kilograms of of salted fish that has been processed and clean, a bit much, because I can save it for a long time. Salted fish here was tasty and crisp, no residual smell fishy obtained for hygienic processing.
I capture the some pictures of the types of fish that has been marinated, any of which already like crackers, crispy and delicious taste. A time when you have the opportunity to visit my city, then I will bring you back here.
The process of drying fish in Lhokseumawe now become to new livelihood for the city residents. Along the arrival of the fish season, the workers get hefty wage for this job. I get this information from one of the sellers of salted fish in Lhokseumawe today.
You will see on the pictures below are several types of dried fish sold-coast and close to the place of processing. There are still many more places scattered in the city.
Here known as the "ebi", the shrimp that had been salted and dried, its very delicious when we cook, fried or sauteed with diced string beans.
The left side picture is a shark that has been cut, salted and dried, while the the right side pic is a "leubiem" fish (in our language), a type of fish "chanthidermis maculatus". This type of salted fish when about to be cooked should be washed and squeezed with hand grip, if not, the salty taste is very strong when you eat it.
Well, this is so my choice, I love this kind of salted fish because it could be a cracker to increase my appetite today.
I recommend you to make salted fish at home, because it is very easy. Follow the instuction below:
- Clean the fish
- Combine the salt and fresh water. Quite a concentration of 50% only.
- Soak the fresh fish in the water, use something to rest on and make sure that all the fish that will be good submerged in salt water.
- Wait until one day. After that grab the fish, wash with water and drying in the sun. After the fish dry out, keep the fish in a sealed container and put it into the refrigerator. Anytime later you can fry fish and you eat with rice, crisp taste.
